The man used to beat Champ on slight provocation, and as the latter did not stand six-feet-two nor weigh 1UQ pounds there was noth ing for htm to do hut take the beat ings and hide his time. As lie saw himself developing Into sturdy young manhood. Champ watched his muscles waxing strong with much gleeful satisfaction. He purposed to hunt up that farmer who had abused him nnd deal lilin out n little retributive Justice. His idea was to give him a thrashing that would not .only even up all scores to date, but that would linger long In the man's memory as one of the noteworthy events of his life. It was ten years before Champ Clark determined that conditions were right for going back to'that farm and creating n red-letter day for his for mer employer. And these ten years hadn't softened his feelings toward the man who had trounced him when he was a small youngster. Champ bad a good memory. Well, anyway.

Only one of these live slates has a compulsory law for children up to six teen, even when unemployed, and that law penults many exemptions. In a recent study of school altend ancc In Cleveland It was found that UTifiO children were so Irregular In ilielr attendance at school as to In nrfere wit Ii their studies, and thnt the reasons for staying out of school were In ninny cases trivial fn addition to lax school attendance laws, three of the live states permit children sixteen years old and young er to go to work even If they cannot mid or write or never have been to come familiar with a large part of the best literature of the world.
